Late last year, a handful of co-op tenants decided it was time to get the sector together with a Co-op Housing conference. Subsequently, SHAC, First Fremantle and Pinakarri co-ops hosted get-togethers. These gatherings have grown engagement across the sector, revealed the commitment amongst co-opers, and offered time and space for creative-thinking, entertainment and fun.
The Co-op Connect conference working group is Robyn Williams (Pinakarri), Mike Newbigin (Co-operation Housing), Tim Grant (SHACC), Mick O'Loughlin (First Fremantle), Ted Griffin (Montgomery St).
